COVID Vaccine Efficacy Data

According to newly disclosed government data and emails, vaccinated seniors were much more likely to get COVID than those who were unvaccinated. The report was provided by Humetrix Cloud Services, which was hired by the U.S. military to analyze vaccine data for seniors.
For the week ending July 31 2021, 73% of COVID-19 cases were people who had been vaccinated, and the infection rates were higher in those who were vaccinated earlier. The rates were two times high for people vaccinated 5-6 months prior, as compared to people vaccinated 3-4 months prior, indicating that vaccine efficacy rapidly declined. That same week, 63% of COVID-19 hospitalizations were among those fully vaccinated, with the same trend of waning efficacy over time.
Seniors who had already had COVID-19 and recovered were more likely to avoid hospitalization than the vaccinated. This is particularly important, since natural immunity was denied as a justification for exemption from COVID vaccine mandates.
The Humetrix data showed that at the time of the report, there had been 133,000 cases, 27,000 hospitalizations and 8300 intensive care admissions among the fully vaccinated since the vaccines became available. These data were shared with the CDC in August 2021.
Humetrix CEO Dr. Bettina Experton sent an email to FDA officials on September 15, 2021 that included this statement:
“Our observational study VE [vaccine efficacy] findings show a very significant decrease in VE against infection and hospitalization in the Delta phase of the pandemic for individuals vaccinated with either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine for those 5–6 months post vaccination vs. those 3–4 months post vaccination.”
Emails show that FDA and public health officials were aware of the data:
Peter Marks MD PhD, Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research at FDA wrote “It would have been nice to know [the military] was conducting this prior to now. Also would have been nice for CDC to share the data.”
Janet Woodcock, acting FDA commissioner at the time, wrote, “This is more worrisome than the other data we have in my opinion.”
Frances Collins, then director of NIH, wrote, that the study provided “pretty compelling evidence that VE is falling 5-6 months post vaccination for both infection and hospitalization for those over 65. Even for those 4-5 months out there is a trend toward worsening VE.”
While clearly aware that there was a problem, the FDA, CDC, NIH and other agencies did not make the data public and continued to support vaccine mandates. The agencies also did not provide the data to their own committees.
The CDC held a meeting with its vaccine advisors on August 30 2021, during which waning vaccine efficacy was discussed. The Humetrix report was not provided. Instead, CDC presented data from COVID-NET which showed that the vaccines were still 80% effective and data from Israel showing that protection against infection ranged from 39% to 84%; against hospitalization vaccine efficacy ranged from 75-95%.
The FDA held a meeting with its vaccine advisors on September 17 2021, and also did not present the Humetrix data. The FDA approved the Pfizer booster for most Americans, and the CDC agreed that most people should be boosted. The Moderna booster was added as another option, and eventually officials recommended that all Americans ages five and older be given a COVID booster.
Trust in public health officials and institutions has never been lower than it is right now, and for good reason. As more and more data are made public, this will most likely get worse. The individuals involved in this spectacular and unprecedented fraud must be punished for their roles, and their agencies need to be defunded, disbanded, and replaced with smaller entities that are more accountable to legislative bodies. Accomplishing these goals will take considerable resources and time.
In the meantime, Americans should commit to learn as much as possible about health (informed consumers know when to ignore public health directives); to contribute to litigation (the government will never punish or fix itself – it’s up to us to do this!); and more important – REFUSED TO COMPLY WITH MEDICAL TYRANNY DISGUISED AS PUBLIC HEALTH ADVISORIES AND ORDERS! Remember that agencies and officials are only as powerful as we allow them to be.
